Abstract

Food packaging essentially important and recently adapting to key market trends including the explosive expansion of e-commerce during COVID-19 pandemic. Food packaging act to protect food and provide barrier in terms of safety, shelf-life and storage. However, environmental pollution regarding plastic waste have become major issue in food packaging industry. Thus, biopolymer has been introduced to overcome this problem. Biopolymer have been gaining attention as coating materials in food packaging. This is due to their advantages which are biodegradable and low cost. This review highlights with the ongoing shift of the roles of food packaging and the advantages of biopolymer in food packaging. There is also a quick explanation of how biopolymers’ coating technology advancement has been made. In general, this study analyses biopolymer properties and roles as coating materials in food packaging. This review combines the knowledge applicable to the use of biopolymer in food packaging by careful examination of the current literature on the topic.
